On a mission to find joy and share it with others

Vade Mecum cover.jpg

I am Claudia Parsons, an artist and writer originally from Scotland and now living in New Jersey. CKPArtDesigns is where I share my work in hopes of spreading some joy to friends, family and anybody who shares my belief that creativity is for everybody. Painting, collage, pottery or knitting can all bring us back to a time when we created for the love of it, without doubting our talents or fearing judgment. Remember when your childhood scrawls were proudly pinned to the fridge? This is my fridge.

I decided recently to learn or try something new every day. The artwork here ranges from mixed-media collage to mandala patterns designed on my iPad. I'm still exploring and finding new ways to make art. If you like something, let me know. Ask me how you can buy a print or an original work of art. You'll make my day.
